You know, I'm not the hugest fan of the litany of 'then the animal did this' type of book and you have to repeat all what the various animals did -- but this one is so darling and well done and visually arresting!

Melissa ~ King County Library has a pamphlet with 100 books kids should read before kindergarten (or something like that) and this book is on it. We've been working our way through it and have found some real gems in there that you might enjoy. Julia too! :)

I still haven't checked this book out. I just finished the book Show Me A Story by Leonard Marcus, a collection of interviews with famous picture book illustrators. Both John Burningham and his wife (Helen Oxenbury!) are among those interviewed. I'm very familiar with her works, but less so with his. I think I know what to check the library for next!
